NYT/CBS NEWS POLL RESPONDENTS IN THE TANK: “As voters have gotten to know Senator Barack Obama, they have warmed up to him, with more than half, 53 percent, now saying they have a favorable impression of him … But as voters have gotten to know Senator John McCain, they have not warmed, with only 36 percent of voters saying they view him favorably.” Fact: Many American voters are anti-American, and should be investigated by Michele Bachmann post haste.

The more I get to know Obama, the more I hate America and want too blow it up for him.
Everyone likes the pretty ones.
George Clooney consistently polls higher than Wilford Brimley.
Flowers poll higher than farts.
Since only one black man can be popular in America at any given time, Bill Cosby has been reduced to dodging punches on the streets of America. Actually, any older black man wearing teh gay sweaters can be punched with impunity on the streets but only one shits pudding.
Governor Palin has apparently now set a record as having the highest disapproval rating for a VP candidate in recent memory. She is more highly disliked than Dan Quayle.
Fact: Many American voters are anti-American, and should be investigated by Michele Bachmann post haste.
FTW!!
Sara, you are awesome and thank you!
[re=141227]magic titty[/re]: except amongst those with teh diabeetus.
Whether in the tank or under the bus 10 out of 10 muslin terrorist agree that paling around with half breed acorns is what makes that moran barck HUSSEIN obama hate America and our precious freedoms.
This photo was taken as the Massachusetts National Guard patrolled an exceptionally angry bluefish run.
[re=141227]magic titty[/re]: “Everyone likes the pretty ones.”
Well then I’ll vote for Palin…
Remember what Karl Rove kept saying about Hillary — that regardless of her popularity, she was unelectable because of her high negatives?
Mrs. Palin’s negative rating is the highest for a vice-presidential candidate as measured by The Times and CBS News.
I’m sure he’ll be coming up with a different set of facts soon.
Well, the war vote is in, and it’s McCain. Take that, half breed.

[re=141236]BillyClubb[/re]: Barry is prettier than her.
troops are in the tank for the POW, go figure
Henceforth polls shall only be taken in the pro-America parts of our nation…
Post haste? Well, I think it should be ex post facto.
You know these “voters” should really thank Sarah Palin’s son for defending their “right” (so-called) to vote. If the Godless elitist gay liberal communist Muslims had their way we’d be forced to pray to Allah in Russian.
[re=141240]magic titty[/re]: They polled soldiers who were 3:1 in favor of McCain, yet he lost heavily among all minority groups? That doesn’t sound very realistic to me.
[re=141241]magic titty[/re]: Sez you! O.K., I will admit that he’s handsome in a beautiful, lovely way…
Oh hell, I’m Gaye fer Obama.
magic titty: I’d like to agree with you, but I’m just not sure about the poll between flowers and farts. Could you state your source? Alternatively, I propose an unscientific poll, right here on Wonkette…
[re=141240]magic titty[/re]: Unscientific polls are in the tank for Walnuts!
“The Military Times offered certain caveats for its poll, which was open only to its 80,000 subscribers. Responses were entirely voluntary and were not focused on a representative sample of the public, as scientific polls are. The troops polled were also somewhat older than average enlisted servicemembers and included more officers than is representative of the military as a whole.
“Yet judging by the numbers, it appears that the Democratic party has not made many inroads into the traditionally Republican military.”
If McCain ends up winning this thing, it will be like the worst ending of any movie ever. Never have I seen an election with such clearly defined good guys and bad guys. If he wins it would be like Darth Vader killing Luke Skywalker. It would be like the Hawks beating the Ducks. It just can’t happen.
Or perhaps members of minorities were counted as 2/3 of a person?
Because they hate america.
[re=141229]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: bill cosby,that reminds me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSrfYd0Ro0Q
“Post haste”??? WTF is that? Mexican or something?
Why do you hate ‘Murka Sara? Now is the time for Country First!
[re=141254]Sussemilch[/re]: Don’t you know Blacks and Latino soldiers are anti-American?
[re=141240]magic titty[/re]: They’re in the tank for the guy who wants to keep them in tanks.
McCorpse voters’ enthusiasm is on the wane so he responds by shutting down ops in three important states. Go, Maverick, Go!
[re=141262]eatsshootsleaves[/re]: If he wins it would be like Darth Vader killing Luke Skywalker.
Obiwan Kanobi was a dirty hippie.
Best paragraph in any news source this week.
“There was no fraud involved,” said Nudelman, a Democrat who supports Barack Obama. “This person is a dead fish.”
Another bloody poll. Can we just vote already?
I just look at pollyvote.com from time to time. The Electoral projection is especially interesting.
[re=141262]eatsshootsleaves[/re]: You are wrong. It still wouldn’t be as bad an ending as “There Will Be Blood.”
[re=141269]magic titty[/re]: Anti-real-American or anti-fake-American? I get all these Americas mixed up during election times.
[re=141283]Woodwards Friend[/re]: I see McCain is more of Macbeth figure whose lust for power has caused him to betray everything he ever remotely believed in or cared about as he becomes more and more influenced by Rove-like figures (aka the witches).
[re=141287]spencer[/re]: Win.
[re=141231]Terry[/re]: I don’t think people disliked Dan Quayle so much as they just thought he was stupid. Unfort. for Bible Spice, people (with brains) LOATHE her & also think she’s incredibly stupid. I’d rather be Dan Quayle….and that’s saying something.
Meanwhile, the new poll in the Naval Affairs Fortnightly says the Boer needs a good hiding.
It’s just that too many of use are becoming anti-American. According to polls Bachmann herself might represent a anti-American district, one that will virulently reject her pro-American leanings and mandatory patriotism investigations. If she falls, who will protect us from ourselves?

[re=141258]President Beeblebrox[/re]: That article is the perfect example of why I love Fox News. “This poll is highly dubious, therefore much credence should be given to it.”
[re=141229]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: You have not accounted for Denzel Washington or Will Smith.
random but hilarious!
Personally, I’m neither Anti-America or Pro-America. I’m Ambivalent-America. I’m just not as into America as I used to be. America and I are growing in separate directions now. We used to be able to talk about anything but not any more. Now, we only communicate when there’s a crisis or one of the kids needs to be picked up early from school.
Judging by the yard signs and bumpersticker, my cul de sac is in the tank for Obama. Coming soon, we will all be wearing matching T-shirts that say, “Avoid the rush. Hate America early.”
[re=141236]BillyClubb[/re]: indiscriminate sex is chancy; but go ahead, if you must…
[re=141293]springfield_meltdown[/re]: Good analogy. I can’t see Palin in the role of Lady Macbeth, however. She’s too brainless to be guilty of her deeds (stirring racist shit up in the base). However…
“Lay on, McCain, And damn’d be him that first cries hold, enough.”
[re=141240]magic titty[/re]: yeah, the Military Times…while in Viet nam we found it to be the handiest thing to use for toilet paper; mixed with shit in a split 55 gallon drum it helped tremendously when we had to burn the shit…good to see that it hasn’t changed and our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan still have decent ass-wipe…
[re=141240]magic titty[/re]: That’s the warmonger vote. You have to be pretty hardcore to subscribe to Military Times; they’re mostly staff officers and former staff-officer retirees. I think the heavy Obama bias in deployed-troop political contributions is more telling.
Barry has a 10 point lead in Gallup, still.
And world citizens prefer him 4 to 1 over McCain. Size queens, all of them!
I found this on Walletpop. Who’d a thunk it? C’mon Barry, Chili? And you cook it? McCain, ribs?
Their Favorite Food
Barack Obama: (to cook) Chili
John McCain: Chocolate ice cream, pizza with pepperoni and onions, baby-back ribs
Joseph Biden: Pasta
Sarah Palin: Moose stew
[re=141314]sailingthestyx[/re]: Nice. Was it worse than Stars & Stripes?
[re=141315]Lazy Media[/re]: I figured as much. Only old coots like John McCain 3 to 1.
[re=141308]Min[/re]: Love the T-Shirt idea!

Which of the candidates would do a better job as president handling military personnel issues, such as pay and benefits?
Barack Obama 18%/John McCain 73%
Well that result made a lot of fucking sense.

Oh, as an aside: I tripped over this quote by Bill Mauldin, who started out doing army political cartoons in WWII. It made me think of Wonkette and other things:
“The American public highly overrates its sense of humor. We’re great belly laughers and prat fallers, but we never really did have a real sense of humor. Not satire anyway. We’re a fatheaded, cotton-picking society. When we realize finally that we aren’t God’s given children, we’ll understand satire. Humor is really laughing off a hurt, grinning at misery.”
(bold from Wikiquote)
Everyone has missed the point.
This election is about teeth.
Compare smiles. It’s Obama, hands down.
Especially in color.
(damn, that McCain has some yellow choppers)
RE: Military Times Poll: The poll was taken between Sept 22 – 29, and therefore does not take into account Colin Powell’s recent endorsement. Talk on Sunday was that this endorsement might get traction with the military demographic. Could be important along the “red neck Riviera” (FL gulf coast).
[re=141235]nurple[/re]: …AND our precious bodily fluids. Don’t forget that.
In order to clear my name of suspicion of Un-American Activities®, Michele Bachmann is welcome to come to my house, investigate my closets, and feel around in my drawers.
I can see that Michael Dukakis is in the tank, but I can’t tell for whom.
Mostly lifers read the Times. Senior NCO’s and officers. The lower ranks are too busy painting rocks and getting shot at to bother with this fluff.
[re=141227]magic titty[/re]: That’s just cause Americans hate people with Diabeetus.
FYI, Ms. Smith, that picture just put you a close second (behind Rachel Maddow) on my girl-crush list.
[re=141299]nurple[/re]: Oh, Hoo-rah! You’re such a card!(Voice of Hugh Laurie as Prince George.)
Palin’s driving that tank nowadays, I believe — driving that Dukakis tank all over the McCain campaign. Rick Davis should do himself a favor and lie down in front of it before 4 Nov.
